Reggie Lamb released.

[Psaw]

You must have been laughing when we signed this bloke. His impact on the pitch was laughable. Here is a prime example of a pro footballer earning a good living and not giving a hoot.

Its another example of our scouts getting it wrong. All they had to do was come on here and ask you lot.

Easy. A lot of money in wages down the drain.

Buster of Primrose Crescent.

Not at all.

Although he wasn't quite good enough for Carlisle, many of us thought that dropping to Cambridge's level would be the making of him.

[Psaw]

Good one. In the newspaper he was unsure whether to go on his 3 montlhy holidays to the carribean to play for a pub team. There was a poll in the paper, and all but one said he should go. His career was over at Cambridge at that point.

You are right about our level, you haven't upset me. Cambridge United are a disaster and have been since we lost our ground. The directors used to re-mortgage it to finance signings then pay it back with transfers.

Do you own your ground? Notice the trap there. As for Lamb, we will replace him with Lamb, but by another name. The club hasn't a clue. There is no point to it all.

Oh, Carlisle are at Cambridges level, you have no money. All you have is a decent ground.

And that's it.

Lucy of Mawson Road.

We do not have a decent ground.

As for the ownership of the ground that is a matter of opinion. In March of 2017 the club was bankrupt and it got a sum of £450,000 in a 'facility' from Edinburgh Woollen Mill, whose headquarters are in Carlisle. In return the club had to accept a charge (liability) to EWM which stated that if / when re-payment is demanded that a failure to make such re-payment would result in EWM owning the ground, money in bank accounts, fixtures and fittings, machinery, office equipment indeed all assets of the club that exist at the time of the re-payment demand.

Even after significant outgoing transfer activity this season the 'facility' is currently believed to be in excess of £2.5 million.
Under this ownership the club will never be able to make any significant re-payments to EWM.

So, Brunton Park is an asset of the club but in reality all of the club's assets are owned by EWM.

[Psaw]

Your in the same position as us. You will lose the ground. Your days as an upper division club are over. All you are now, like us, is a club of 3500, to 4,000 fans.

Cambridge do as they are told by the council. They have to obey as any new ground will be dependant on that politburo. And it will be owned by the council.

The level of control is thus. The club used to have a mental health drop in centre for eating disorders. That's gone now but the club spout a mantra about being mentally healthy. What has that got to do with winning football matches?? You may well ask. It has nothing to do with football.

The council says jump, the club says how high?

EWM will call in the debt when they think they can get away with it. You also have to ask how Carlisle got into so much debt in the first place, so the ground is now not theirs.

Like Cambridge. All of football is rotten to the core. Its not worth 25 quid to watch trash. The sooner it goes bust the better, 7-50 is about right. To sit down. 60 grand a year for run of the mill div 4 players are over. Maybe with the shrinking of football, wages lower, players will go on the pitch and give a hoot, because they have too.

Sorry, your kippered. I got over it, so will you.
